PHOTOGRAPHY: Kawagarbo

This fang-like peak rising 22,110 feet near China’s border with Tibet has never been summited. All 17 members of a 1990-1991 joint Chinese-Japanese expedition attempting it were killed by an avalanche. Considered sacred by locals, it’s now off-limits to climbers. (Details here.)
